Umbrella, a beer pub in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, announced a 6 p.m. opening on Tuesday, September 1. The post listed five draft beers, giving the lineup a good balance of hop-driven, fruity, and classic lager options.

Today’s taps


- Rush Hop / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie) - American IPA
- Saison with Chardonnay Grape / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Fruit Saison
- Compass / Minoh Beer (Osaka) × Yorocco Beer (Kanagawa) - Fruit Saison
- Draught Guinness / Guinness - Draught Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Brewery - Lager

Because umbrella is a basement beer pub, it suits a relaxed stop for a post-work pint or a small tasting session. The lineup makes it easy to start with the aromatic American IPA, move into the fruitier saison beers, and finish with either Draught Guinness or Kirin Lager. For beer fans who want variety without leaving Osaka’s Sonezaki area, this is a straightforward and appealing tap update.
